OP Jason280 Campfire Tracker J Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 4,679 Georgia	Local shop has a mid 50's Savage 99 in .300 Savage, complete with a 1" Stith mount and either a steel tubed Weaver 2.5 or 4x fine crosshair scope. I wasn't able to get a pic, but it looks like it is in easily 90% or better condition. I'm guessing the rifle by itself would be around $800, but I have no idea on the scope and mount...any ideas? I know pics would make this a lot easier, I will try and get a few tomorrow.

It appears the rifle is refinished, swivels removed and a chunk of wood missing at the tang. Wonder what else? The Stith mounts are worth ~$225 and can't say about the scope. Clear? Crosshairs/post good? I can't quite read the hang tag. Maybe you could help. ?? "Every day above ground is a good day."

I would agree. 350-400 I don't see the chip as being a big deal. There is no crack behind it. That stock has a particularly good oriented grain. As the grain is 180 degrees to the force of recoil. Wood generally wants to split with the grain, not against it. "You cannot invade mainland America.

Classic fishing expedition. The rifle is a dog. Buy for the Stith. Probably still overpay. Good luck. "Every day above ground is a good day."
